it seems every time i ride in the rain my front tire always slips in a turn and tries to take me out. I think it might just be my tires because im not a daredevil that just dive bombs into turns with no regard, for the most part i still have chicken strips. Does this happen to you guys with real tires?

nope, front is good, i commit to the turn (entry) with the proper gear, a little slower than in the dry, then out the apex Throttle on, don't gunit, usually my rear tier wiggles, but nothing big, well most of the time!!!
how bad is your front tire?
